To avoid being shut down, Atkinson hosts a variety of domains with names such 
as sizepills.biz, rxmedicalgroup.com, penis-tips.com and sapublishings.com, 
on spam-friendly network providers in Poland and Pakistan who ignore 
complaints.

"There are spam hosts in America, but they tend to close down quickly due to 
complaints," Atkinson told the newspaper.

While he could host on domestic systems, New Zealand spam hosting was too 
slow.

Many of his e-mails were along the lines of "How to boost your penis size and 
self-esteem" and "Satisfy your lover with an increased penis size".

Atkinson said he had been spamming for a year and had no qualms about it. He 
would not give details on how profitable his business was, but said it 
allowed him to keep a nice car and own a house.

On a good day, Atkinson and his associates sent "up to 100 million" messages.

He paid associates to do the actual spamming and said a 15-year-old working 
from the United States earned $500 a day.

It did not bother him that the messages annoyed people, or that some messages 
were received by minors.

In his view, spam was part and parcel of being on the Internet.

"If you don't want to receive spam, don't connect to the Internet, or don't 
have an e-mail address."
